But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
They that escape of them shall escape - (Ezekiel 6:8 ). and shall be on the mountains the doves of the valleys - which, though usually frequenting the valleys, mount up to the mountains when fearing the bird-catcher (Psalms 11:1). So Israel, once dwelling in his peaceful valleys, shall flee from the foe to the mountains, which, as being the scene of his idolatries, were justly to be made the scene of his flight and shame.
All of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. The plaintive note of the dove (Isaiah 59:11, "We mourn sore like doves") represents the mournful repentance of Israel hereafter (Zechariah 12:10-12).
